Packages file seems corrupt for Debian Stretch in apt repository

Hi,

I have the following error with this apt repository since today :

deb https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com stretch main

output of apt update


[...]

Get:11 https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com stretch/main amd64 Packages [23.8 kB]
Fetched 28.2 kB in 0s (33.0 kB/s)
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/apt.releases.hashicorp.com_dists_stretch_main_binary-amd64_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

It seems like the the package lists file is corrupted? Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiruban,

Thanks for reporting this and apologies for the inconvenience! This appears to be limited to debian stretch. I’m working on getting updated metadata pushed now!

Thanks,
Kyle

New metadata is live, apt-get update is now clean for me on debian stretch!

I recently started getting a similar error today. Any idea why? Anyone else having this issue?

Indeed, “Stretch” seems broken. “Buster” seems OK.

Maybe it helps to mention @kpenfound to get some attention to this issue, or create a new topic?
